WTO to rule on China complaint

WTO to rule on China complaint

GENEVA – The World Trade Organisation on Tuesday formed a panel to rule on a complaint by China that US anti-dumping measures on certain Chinese-made products violate trade rules, a source said.

‘The panel has been established,’ a trade source said after a meeting of the WTO’s Dispute Settlement Body.
China claims that anti-dumping investigations undertaken on some steel pipes, tyres and laminated woven sacks, as well as the anti-dumping measures implemented by Washington, are against trade rules.
‘Since last DSB (Dispute Settlement Body) meeting, the United States has failed to address China’s concerns. Therefore, given its immediate and systemic concerns, China has no choice but to request… that the DSB establish a panel to resolve this dispute,’ China said in a statement.
The US, meanwhile, insisted that it did not flout trade rules.
‘We continue to believe that the anti-dumping and countervailing duty determinations identified by China and the … measures imposed pursuant to those determinations, are consistent with US WTO obligations,’ it said in a statement.
China had in 2007 made a similar complaint against the United States over anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations into coated paper imported from China.
Both sides are still in talks on that case, so the WTO has not formed a panel to rule on the charge. -Nampa-AFP
